Andersson,Simone Bazarian,Katrin Böhning-Gaese,Riccardo Bommarco,Bo Dalsgaard,Bo Dalsgaard,D. Matthias Dehling,Ariella. Gotlieb,Melanie Hagen,Thomas Hickler,Andrea Holzschuh,Christopher N.

TL;DR: It is shown that in contrast to expectation, biotic specialization of mutualistic networks is significantly lower at tropical than at temperate latitudes, which suggests higher tolerance against extinctions in tropical than in temperate communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative analysis of dispersal syndromes in terrestrial and semi-terrestrial animals.
Virginie M. Stevens,Sarah Whitmee,Sarah Whitmee,Sarah Whitmee,Jean-François Le Galliard,Jean-François Le Galliard,Jean Clobert,Katrin Böhning-Gaese,Dries Bonte,Martin Brändle,D. Matthias Dehling,Christian Hof,Audrey Trochet,Michel Baguette +13 more
TL;DR: Good dispersal ability was consistently associated with high fecundity and survival, and in aerial dispersers it was associated with early maturation, highlighting the complex role of dispersal in the evolution of species life-history strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biotic interactions in species distribution modelling: 10 questions to guide interpretation and avoid false conclusions
Carsten F. Dormann,Maria Bobrowski,D. Matthias Dehling,David J. Harris,Florian Hartig,Heike Lischke,Marco Moretti,Jörn Pagel,Stefan Pinkert,Matthias Schleuning,Susanne I. Schmidt,Christine S. Sheppard,Manuel J. Steinbauer,Manuel J. Steinbauer,Dirk Zeuss,Casper Kraan +15 more
TL;DR: This data indicates that direct correlations between biotic interactions and co‐occurrence information at a large spatial scale are driven by different mechanisms, and these mechanisms need to be understood in order to establish causal relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological networks are more sensitive to plant than to animal extinction under climate change

TL;DR: It is discovered that animal species that interact with a low diversity of plant species have narrow climatic niches and are most vulnerable to climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphology predicts species' functional roles and their degree of specialization in plant-frugivore interactions.
D. Matthias Dehling,Pedro Jordano,H. Martin Schaefer,Katrin Böhning-Gaese,Matthias Schleuning +4 more
TL;DR: It is found that morphological differences between bird species reflected their functional differences: (i) bird species with different morphologies foraged on distinct sets of plant species and (ii) morphologically distinct bird species fulfilled specialized functional roles.
